Solution

The correct option is A 10 N
We know that Buoyant Force is an upward force acting on the object immersed in a fluid. According to Archimedes principle, any body completely or partially submerged in a fluid at rest is acted upon by an upward or buoyant force whose magnitude is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
So, Buoyant force = Weight of liquid displaced = 10 N
